Faculty  Debating  Cup. 


Literary  Societies 


The  Literary  Societies  are  an  important  factor  in  college 
life  whether  considered  from  the  literary,  parliamentary  or 
social  point  of  view.  Lenox  has  two  flourishing  societies,  the 
Athenian  and  Clayonian.  They  have  their  own  halls  which 
are  tastily  decorated  and  nicely  furnished,  including  pianos. 
They  hold  an  annual  inter-society  debate  for  the  Faculty  De- 
bating Cup,  which  is  held  by  the  successful  society  for  one 
year,  when  it  is  again  contested  for.  The  society  securing  it 
three  times  will  hold  it  as  a permanent  trophy.  A cast  of 
President  Lincoln  will  hereafter  be  awarded  on  the  same  con- 
ditions as  the  cup  to  the  society  whose  orator  wins  in  the  an- 
nual oratorical  contest  held  by  the  societies.

“First  in  War’’ 

This  monument  erected  on  the  campus  to  Civil  War  heroes  who  went  from 
Lenox  College  and  the  vicinity,  is  the  oldest  of  its  kind  in  the  United  States.  Stu- 
dents of  this  institution  responded  to  every  call  of  President  Lincoln  for  volunteers. 
At  last  the  president  and  all  of  the  students  in  attendance,  but  one  (a  youth  of 
twelve)  enlisted.

A high  standard  of  religious  life  has  characterized  the  history  of  this  institution.  The  first  college  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
in  Iowa,  was  organized  in  Lenox  and  the  second  college  Y.  W.  C.  A.  in  the  United  States,  so  far  as  we  have  ever  been 
able  to  learn,  was  organized  by  our  young  women. 

The  institution  is  not  sectarian  in  any  sense,  but  it  is  thoroughly  Christian  and  constantly  holds  up  the  highest  ideals 
of  moral  and  religious  life.

The  N ew  Agricultural 
Department 


This  department  will  be  opened  Sept.  7,  1 909, 
headed  by  Prof.  C.  N.  Evans.  Mr.  Evans  was  raised 
on  a farm,  was  graduated  from  an  agricultural  col- 
lege and  after  teaching  in  the  agricultural  department 
of  the  Texas  State  University  has  spent  the  past  year 
taking  graduate  work  for  the  master’s  degree  at  Ames. 
He  is  thoroughly  trained  in  both  the  practical  and  sci- 
entific work  of  agriculture. 

Thirty  acres  of  land  have  been  secured  and  the 
department  will  be  conducted  on  a thoroughly  prac- 
tical as  well  as  scientific  basis.  A short  course  in 
Domestic  Art  and  Science  will  be  given  during  the 
year. 

The  accompanying  cuts  are  loaned  by  the  courtesy 
of  Ames,  whose  hearty  support  and  generous  assist- 
ance we  are  receiving. 

For  information,  address  President  E.  E.  Reed.
